Right now I'm running it in Kubuntu 12.10, just purchased the paid version on Steam.
When I run DEFCON full-screen, there is an issue where I can move my mouse for a fraction of a second, then it snaps back to the screen center. This is very annoying, and makes the game unplayable.
So far, the only workaround I've found is to switch the game to windowed mode (I edited the preferences text config file to do this), but I'd really rather play the game full-screen if I can get the mouse to work.
Anybody have a solution to this problem?\
Edit: Fixed it! See my post below...

SOLVED IT!
I googled SDL, dug up some environment variables.
I fixed the problem by setting this environment variable:
export SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE=0
So I created a tiny starter shell-script to get Defcon rolling:
The game's working fine now.

Code: Select all

export SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE=0
cd /usr/local/games/defcon
./defcon.bin.x86_64
The game's working fine now.
